The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

Tianchi Peak is a small peak under the main peak Tianshu Peak. It is far less lonely and cold than Zixiao Peak. Even in winter, the flowers are still blooming here and the vegetation is luxuriant. Stepping on several paths paved with bluestones, one can feel the beauty of the sky. From a distance, I saw people moving in the valley. It seemed that all the brothers and sisters were here, and now he was the only one missing.

The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is suspended thousands of feet in the sky. It is called "Tianchi Valley". There are many floating islands around it. There are waterfalls hanging down on the islands. The scenery is very spectacular. With a single tiptoe, you have already started your Lingxian steps. , flew through the waterfalls and flew into the valley.

"He's here, look, it's him..."

Many disciples here are already talking quietly. Apparently they have heard about the fact that he took the jade Ruyi from Liu Chengfeng half a month ago. In addition, he is the only disciple of Yaoguang Zun. With such an identity, then It is even more eye-catching.

A dust of dust fell lightly on the grass, and he saluted the two elders of Tianchi Peak. One of the two elders was named Song, and the other was named Bai. They were the elders of Tianchi Peak. The disciples were used to it below. They are called "Evergreen Two Elders".

Just now, the two of them saw that Xiao Yichen's movement was light and elegant, surpassing that of many disciples. At this time, their eyes were full of approval. Yichen cupped his hands again and walked towards the crowd.

When he got to the crowd, he saw a person. The person was wearing a light red dress and was about twenty years old. She was none other than Zhao Wangsun's sister, Zhao Ying'er. Yichen didn't expect that she would also become a disciple of the Seven Lords. Unexpected.

Zhao Ying'er had naturally seen him a long time ago. Although she was extremely hostile to Xiao Yichen three years ago because of her younger brother, her identity was no longer trivial now. Even if she had a senior brother named Lou Qingshan, she would never He didn't dare to show even half of the hostility he had back then.

Yichen also withdrew his gaze. Now that he was Ling Yin's disciple, he was no longer too lazy to pursue the past events and those little people.

After a while, I saw another figure coming from outside the valley. That person was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed in fluttering feathers and her figure was as light as flying catkins. The moment she came into the valley, she attracted the attention of the disciples. They shouted "Junior sister Nishang! Junior sister is here!"

It was the girl in feathers who came from Tianmen three years ago. She joined Tianxuan Peak three years ago and became the closed disciple of Lord Meiyue (the closed disciple refers to the last disciple accepted by the master, who will no longer accept disciples), so now She is already the junior sister known to everyone in the Xuan Qing Sect. Even if some people have not heard of Xiao Yichen, there will definitely be no one who has not heard of her.

Seeing the fairy-like girl in neon clothes slowly approaching, Xiao Yichen was also a little dazed. Unexpectedly, three years have passed by so quickly, and now she has grown up so much. Compared with the past, she is less childish and more childish. A bit fairy-like and refined, now she is afraid that she will never go to a small place like Pingyang Peak again, right?

"Nishang, you're here."

The two elders who taught the skills also greeted each other with smiles. Compared to Xiao Yichen, they obviously paid more attention to this girl who had the most outstanding qualifications in the ancient land of Xianyuan for a century.

"kindness."

The girl nodded slightly and smiled, just like the Yaotai fairy in the nine heavens looking back. Even the flowers blooming here suddenly lost some of their color.

At this moment, many disciples were looking at her dreamingly, but her eyes slowly fell on the gray-faced young man three years ago.

Her name is Qian Yu Nishang, and she is recognized by Tianmen as the person with the best qualifications in the ancient land of Xianyuan in the past hundred years. She is also recognized by various factions as having an unlimited future and is expected to solve the mystery of immortality. Mortals transformed into immortals, recreating the glorious Qing Emperor thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years ago, demons and demons were rampant in the world. The Qing Emperor created an unprecedented prosperous age of immortality, which changed the era. However, in the following ten thousand years, not only did no one as magnificent as the Qing Emperor appear in the world, but it gradually went downhill. , leading to the increasingly prosperous magic. The battle between righteousness and evil more than 3,000 years ago caused immeasurable losses to the entire Immortal Origin and Righteous Path. Many powerful men fell at that time, and most of the mysterious techniques were lost at that time. Only today have they finally been restored. Gradually there was some improvement.

At this moment, when he saw the girl looking at him, Yichen couldn't help but subconsciously want to avoid it. Even though he was now the disciple of Lord Yaoguang, he still felt that the girl was as dazzling as before. Maybe it was because of the three of himself. It may be because his Taoist cultivation has always been mediocre over the past few years.

Next, the two elders Songbai began to preach. The so-called preaching was nothing more than teaching some Taoist classics and the difference between good and evil. It was not any spiritual cultivation method. Yichen had already read these countless times at Pingyang Peak. , I have memorized it very well in the past three years, so I feel sleepy and bored listening to it all day long.

It was not until evening that the two elders asked their disciples to bring a large dark blue basalt stone from somewhere. However, they saw that the basalt stone was full of runes and surrounded by layers of secrets. It seemed that it was not an ordinary basalt stone. The disciples They couldn't help but feel a little curious, so they walked up one after another, lightly touched the basalt stone with their fingers, and immediately felt a mysterious force reacting with their own spiritual power.

This basalt stone is naturally a stone to test how well the disciples have practiced in the past three years. The two elders slowly stroked their beards, and Elder Song said, "You have been practicing for three years or more, so you must have a general understanding of how to practice." Understand that twenty years of Taoist practice can build the foundation and cultivate the essence, fifty years of Taoist practice can first condense the golden elixir, a hundred years of Taoist practice can reveal the Nascent Soul, three hundred years of Taoist practice can enable the soul to leave the body, and five hundred years of Taoist practice can transform one into three or seven hundred. A year's journey is called overcoming tribulation, a thousand years of journey to the fairyland..."

All the disciples were dumbfounded. The idea of ​​the soul leaving the body and turning one into three seemed too far away for them.

Elder Bai on the right continued, "Cultivation is divided into four stages. The first stage is 'Refining Qi'. Generally speaking, after ten years of Taoist practice, you can first reach this state. The second stage is' Most people at this stage have practiced Taoism for thirty to ninety years. The third stage is "Refining the spirit and returning it to the void." A hundred years of Taoism can give you a first glimpse of this state, and you will become immortals from then on. After five hundred years of practicing Taoism, we can only have a glimpse of the final stage of 'Refining the Void and Combining the Tao'."

All the disciples nodded after hearing this. In short, time can't explain anything. Taoism is the criterion that determines the level of a person's cultivation. Some people are extremely talented and may have practiced Taoism for a hundred years in the first ten years, while some people have mediocre qualifications. Even if they spend a month, One hundred years may not necessarily lead to fifty years of cultivation.

Elder Song said again, "You have been here for three years. Next, go and use this basalt stone to see how your cultivation is. However, you must be careful. When you use your palm, you must condense your whole body and hit the basalt stone with all your strength. Otherwise, The test result is lower than my own cultivation level, but don’t blame me and Elder Bai for not warning me.”

After hearing this, all the disciples were eager to try. Today is the first time to test their cultivation. Everyone will naturally try their best. Firstly, surpassing others will gain the attention of the elders. Secondly, they can also bring glory to their lords. Who will put their strength to the test at this time? Hiding it, hoping to perform extraordinarily well.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

For a moment, there were only constant sounds in the empty valley, and the blue light formed on the basalt stone. All the disciples stepped forward to test their cultivation.

After half a stick of incense, the two elders kept stroking their beards and nodding with satisfaction on their faces. Although no one has reached the stage of refining qi and becoming a god, most of the disciples have reached the middle or even late stage of refining qi. , but it was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"boom!"

There was another sudden loud noise, and the entire basalt stone shook violently, and then three green lights shot straight up. Many disciples were secretly shocked, "The late stage of refining Qi! Nearly thirty years of Taoism!"

At this moment, the person holding the basalt stone with her palm was Zhao Ying'er. The two elders, Song and Bai, nodded slightly with approval in their eyes. Although this girl started late, her Taoism is now higher than that of many disciples. It was true three years ago. Qualified to worship at Xuanyang Peak.

After a while, the two elders looked at Yichen again and said with a warm smile, "Yichen, you should try it too."

As the only disciples of Lord Yaoguang, the two elders naturally need to take care of them. However, at this moment, Yichen was a little slow and hesitant, and finally walked over, telling himself over and over in his heart that there was no need to be nervous, just like practicing before.

The two elders looked friendly and looked forward to seeing how his cultivation was now. But at this moment, on a green peak shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, there were three people standing there, a woman in red clothes, a man in green clothes, and another. Middle-aged man in purple clothes.

These three people are the three disciples of Master Qingxuan, the second disciple Xie Chichun, the third disciple Mei Jianyi, and the fourth disciple Jiang Nanliu. At this moment, the three of them are also staring at this side.

"boom!"

A quick sound was heard outside the valley, and Yichen used his profound energy to hit the basalt stone with his palm. However, the basalt stone only trembled slightly, the runes on it flashed, and a faint green light appeared on the top of the stone.

"What's going on..."

On the green peak in the distance, the expression on the brows could not help but change, and here in the valley, the disciples were also stunned, thinking that he had reached the realm of refining qi and transforming into a god. Even if he failed to reach the realm of refining qi and transforming into a god, then It should be the late stage of refining the gas, but why is it the early stage of refining the gas now?

The two elders Song and Bai were also slightly surprised. Their first reaction was that there was something wrong with the basalt stone. Elder Song said, "Don't worry, please wait for a moment while I see what's going on with the stone."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen stepped back with a sad expression, "No, no need..."

"What's wrong?" Elder Bai was also surprised. He concluded that there was something wrong with the basalt stone. He stepped forward to clean up the remaining spiritual power in the stone and said, "You go up and try it now."

Yichen frowned slightly, and finally walked up. However, even if he used all his strength this time, the blue light on the top of the stone was only a little more.

"How could this happen..."

At this time, the crowd was completely stunned, and the two elders could not believe it. Even an ordinary Qifeng disciple could reach the middle stage of refining Qi in three years at worst, but he was Yaoguang Zun. How could the Taoist cultivation level be so low under the personal guidance of the Supreme Being?
